Hi Anne-Marie
Have just checked the 1851 census for Brighton (Brighton, Hove, Preston, Patcham, West Blatchington, Hangleton, Portslade, Aldrington, Southwick, Steyning, Old & New Shoreham) without success for your Beeho ancestors.
Not a trace of them anywhere - not even a suggestion of a miss transcription either.
We are not doing very well are we?

Hi Chris
I have only just found this site and it seems you are a godsend to many people. Many thanks for helping us out.
I am researching the Box family and wonder if you can give any information on the following:
James Box (b. 5/8/1824 Ardingly) who married Jane Stoner (b. 9/6/1815 Ditchling). I do know about the lives of their children but all I know of them was that Jane died on 14/8/1875 and I have found James in the 1881-1901 censuses (living in Brighton in 1901). In all these censuses James has recorded his age as 3 years younger than he really was!
John Box (b 1819 Ardingly). James’s brother. Any information would be appreciated as there are many John Box’s around at this time.
Elizabeth Box. This is where I know very little! Elizabeth is James and John’s mother but neither son has a father recorded. There are three Elizabeth Box’s living locally at this time but I have nothing concrete to connect anyone of them. Any information at all would be invaluable.
All the best
Neale Box

hi again, Chris,
looking for Cuthbert Baker on Eastourne 1861 census please being about 2 years old, he was born Jan. 01, 1859 at sea and his parents also died at sea at the same time (no proof but looking), so looking for proof of his birth, in 1881 census he says born Hastings then 1891 census he says Eastbourne?

Hi there Moon
Sorry about the delay, but been away ancestor hunting in South Wales for a few days (wifes paternal ancestors and their living descendants)
Have checked the 1861 Census for Eastbourne for your Cuthbert Baker, and although there are 14 references to Baker Families; your Cuthbert is not amongst them.
Sorry to be so negative

Hi Geoff
I received your message re extra archives you have in your library.
I would most definately like a lookup for a Hastings Marriage 1837-1865
Mary CHAPMAN and Henry CHAPMAN should be about 1858-59.
Also a Hastings Baptism 1700-1877
Ann CHAPMAN c1859 daughter of the above.
This family could also be on the 1861 Eastbourne Census. Henry died within the next couple of years.
Mary CHAPMAN then married Moses DOWNER.
Ann Chapman's death certificate & her immigration records indicate she lived in Eastbourne as a child.
Sorry for the delay in answering your query, but we have been away for a few days in South Wales looking for the wife’s paternal ancestors and meeting descendants of same.
The “Hastings Union Notices of Marriages” CD is a list with actual images of the register of people who were giving notice that within the next 3 months a marriage is intended to take place at the Registry Office – many more marriages took place by the calling of banns in the Anglican Churches which it does not include - but your Mary / Henry Chapman are not included; therefore we can assume they married in Church or Chapel.

Hi Geoff
Also a Hastings Baptism 1700-1877
Ann CHAPMAN c1859 daughter of the above.
The Baptism CD covers the following churches and dates
All Saints 1700 – 1851
Croft Chapel 1818 – 1829
Ore 1700 – 1837
St Clements 1700 – 1869
Mary in Castle 1828 – 1868
Methodist 1839 - 1877
Could not locate a Mary Chapman within those indexed dates.
This family could also be on the 1861 Eastbourne Census. Henry died within the next couple of years.
Mary CHAPMAN then married Moses DOWNER.
Have checked the 1861 census for Eastbourne without success for your Chapman Family – there is also no one with the surname DOWNER listed either.
Sorry
